Jamie Cullum - Drink Lyrics

Jamie Cullum Lyrics

"Drink"

Truth
Truth isn't something I learned
I feel like it's something you earn
Restless and hungry for future stories

Of days
Where we all live our lives in the greys
And the hems of your heroes are frayed
Don't lose your memories prematurely

If it's true what they say about love and affection
I'll open my eyes to a dawn that is flowing with, flowing with, flowing with

Drink
Drinking in all of the sunshine
Reminding ourselves that there's no time
To wander around in the cold

Pain
Pain is just part of your day
So suck it up, learn how to play
And down your first pint of a sunshine story

It's true
If it's all over now, baby blue
Did you listen when I told you to
Live out your life in a blaze of glory

If it's true what they say about learning to love her
I'll open my eyes to a dawn that is flowing with, flowing with, flowing with

Drink
Drinking in all of the sunshine
Reminding ourselves that there's no time
To wander around in the cold, cold water
The cold, cold water
The cold, cold water
The cold, cold water

Drink
Drinking in all of the sunshine
Reminding ourselves that there's no time
To wander around in the cold, the cold

Pain
Pain is just part of your day
So suck it up, learn how to play
And down your third pint of the sunshine baby
The sunshine baby
The sunshine baby
The sunshine baby

Jamie says of this track, "It's about dealing with things that are troubling and confusing, but how in taking them on, there is a freedom inherent in that, and suddenly they aren't so black and white, but nuanced. It turns out the grey is where the truth lies."
